  1. Currently celebrating the great feast of st Pancake. So cruelly martyred by burning him, stuffing his body with cheese and ham, and repeatedly throwing his corpse into the air.

    Patron saint of lemon and sugar, perfect flip skills and silly Irish names.

    I honour his most tragic demise.

  3. Shikamaru Nara is aromantic representation. Imo the fact he got married isn't any contrargument, the reason of it could be simple – don't let his clan end, exactly like Sasuke marrying Sakura. Also, he's a clear neurodivergent rep.

      I haven't followed the canon in many years but it is good to hear these things about it

  4. one of my friends, he's bi, and we were talking about lgbt terms and stuff and he goes, "Yeah I don't really understand they/them and I'd never, i mean NEVER call someone zie/zyr" and I was just like, wow thanks man not gonna tell you i use they/zie/zyr.

      if you still hang around with him keep your eye out for other red flags, things that make you think 'if I saw someone else do/say that I would respect them less'

  5. Umm... hi.

    Sorry I've been gone for so long.

    Are you all okay? How are you?

      I don't know if you already managed to find out the dates, but Aro Awareness week is either the 15th-22nd, or the 20th-27th (it does seen to vary from place to place)

      Your user name is just how I feel. I can't decide what to do for Aro Awareness Week, art or writing? all I know is I gotta do something this year!

      How about you?

  7. AVEN is being renovated with the help of Invision. It's a little more like Arocalypse now.  There are a lot of technical difficulties though.  The good news is they now have a dark theme that's easy on my sensitive eyes.

      oooh. Hopefully this is good news for moderators

      I know that feeling of flying time. This month has been especially hard and fast for me! At least the Aurea cut off is the 6th of July, so there is a tiny bit more time

  8. i'm 22 now!  i guess i've known i'm aro for about 5 years...it feels like ages.  

  9. I did not major in Computer Science to spend four hours on the phone with a tutor for badly written Java projects.

    And yet, here I am.

  10. hey, anyone know if there's a way to delete my profile + scrub all posts / interactions / etc? nothing wrong with Arocalypse itself, I'd just like to get rid of this account

    1. Apathetic Echidna

      I think if you get banned your content is scrubbed? you could ask to be banned if that is the case

  11. So close yet so far for Sweden ?

      I used to love Eurovision but the Australians spoilt it for me :( but Sweden shouldn't want to win too often. Ireland broke their economy hosting Eurovision because they won too often for a while

      uuuh. Well I assume the Adani welcome mat will be rolled out now and the banks will get away with being shady money-grabbers

  13. OOF it's not letting me set a profile or background

  14. I feel awful today. I'm both mentally and physically ill.

      awesome! sadly I am in an internet dead zone so my connection keeps dropping.I'll have to wait till I am back in civilization to watch. But do I spy a white Sony Xperia next to you?

  16. Feeling simultaneously very loved by the aro community and very socially isolated by my IRL friends. I hope everyone here is doing all right, and if anyone else is feeling lonely, I invite you to my virtual corner!

  17. My school's library just put up a valentine's day display. I was really surprised (in a good way!) by what was on it.

    It was talking about the different kinds of loves, and how romantic love is not the only one! I was so excited to see it acknowledge this, instead of continuing to push an amatonormative message.

    1. Apathetic Echidna

      Apathetic Echidna

      That is so great! It is very important not to exclude all the people not dating and that is a great way to spread all the loves :)

  18. I managed to get my Discord back up, but my nail polishes are ruined because of how hot it's been where I live lately. :/

      @Emerald Cheetah lemme tell you, they don't cancel school when it is hot...on the up side there is a 20% chance that there are some rooms at the school that have equal or greater air con than at home. ?

  21. I'm not sure if I can continue claiming to be apathetic any more. I keep finding things making me angry and I am having to work at being easy going. Of course I'm not getting angry at the big stuff like rape culture and global warming, I'm getting angry at stupid questions people ask me and amatonormative comments in media from the 1990s.

  22. I had a tumblr where I basically vented and reblogged a bunch of aro stuff I resonated with. But after that stupid update thing in December the site just...bleh. Wasn’t a perfect place to begin with, but I learned a lot there. How to human. About autism. I made new friends (I’m pretty sure we’re all friends now, not acquaintances. But I’ve squishes on two of them, and they’re dating so it’s...interesting.) All my tumblr blogs are gone. I deleted them. I’m done with that site. Twitter is too public. I was a little hysterical with trying to find other aros like me. 

     

    So, I’m very glad to be here. I hope it’s not as dead as I think it is. 

  23. I’m pretty sure all my close friends and family here at home think I’m either gay or ‘independent’. Lol. I don’t consider myself gay at all. Queer definitely. Most definitely. But not gay. Because gay means I’m interested in a relationship and/or sex with someone, and I’m not. However, if I come out as aroace and explain what this is, they’re gonna think I’m fine being alone. It’s not really a big deal, coming out to them. I’m more concerned about expressing my interests and finding hardly any non-romantic stuff in fandoms ;-;

      ? one of my favourite things to bring up whenever and wherever I can is: we define things not only by what they are like but also what they are not!  

       

      as long as you have half of the equation (what you don't want) you can sort out the other side eventually if you want to ?

      If you come out as aroace the best thing you can do is explain what it is in relation to you rather than rattling of an internet definition. Then you can add in the things that are important to you and get more understanding ?

       

      Finding non-romantic stuff shouldn't be too hard for largish fandoms, but it will probably get dark and twisted. What is almost impossible to find is non-romantic and non-sexual stuff ?
